The information for this report was gathered through a combination of one-to-one interviews, focus groups, and online surveys. In total, over 280 young people and stakeholders participated in lending their voices to this report.

Based on what we heard, four themes emerged:

Identity

Safety

Appropriate places to live

Services and supports

with five recommendations arising from the report intended to improve the circumstances for LGBTQ2S+young people in government care.

The video features LGBTQ2S+ young people talking about their experiences in the child welfare and youth systems, as well as stakeholders sharing their experiences and knowledge. The video is short and definitely worth watching!
